• Device Information: Basic device information such as device model, operating system version, app version, and crash logs may be collected to improve app performance and troubleshoot issues.
• Ad-related Data: As our app is supported by advertisements, our third-party advertising partners may collect certain information to provide relevant ads. This is governed by their respective privacy policies.

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide and maintain our service
• Improve, personalize, and expand our application

• Compliance with Laws: We may disclose your information where required to comply with applicable laws or regulations, to respond to a subpoena, court order, or legal process.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, user information may be among the transferred assets.

5. Advertising

Our app includes third-party advertising to support our free service. These advertisements may use technologies such as cookies and device identifiers to collect information about your device to provide you with relevant advertising. Please note that we do not control these third-party technologies or how they may be used.
